DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTTOIKE 2026”, 19/07/2026 Aichi Imaike Gas Hall ??? Fans – Unannounced

4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs paleyouth!: Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when Masada pinned Honda with the Osui Suplex (12:41).
5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yuya Koroku with an Armbar (8:09).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, KANON & Muscle Sakai (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Katsumata pinned Sakai with a School Boy (20:41).
Poor Muscle Sakai just cannot find a home to settle in. A while back he lost a mask match as Super Sasadango Machine and was apparantly kicked out of a unit that absolutely exists called DHAOS. He was rescued by Strange Love Connection and accepted into that unit as a part time member whenever SLC comes to visit Nagoya. Today was Sakai’s first match as a Nagoya only member and it ended pretty badly for him. He tried to assist MAO with his Flying Stunner but was too large for MAO to jump over. The 37KAMIINA took advantage of it and Shunma Katsumata pinned Sakai with a School Boy after Yuki Ueno hit him with a Lariat. Sakai’s performance was so disappointing that SLC kicked him out of the group after the match! Then the members of DHAOS (Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda) came down and at first looked to make peace with Sakai. Instead it turned into another group beating so Sakai had to be rescued by The 37KAMIINA. When the dust cleared, The 37KAMIINA then decided to accept Sakai into their group as the Nagoya-Only member Wellbe Sakai!
The latest series of matches between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth were split one side a piece. First there was the tag match where Chris Brookes brought back the SCHADENFREUDE International rubber band spot. Daichi Sato grabbed the stretched band off of him but let it go to snap Takeshi Masada in the face. Masada still won the match for paleyouth by countering Antonio Honda’s Japanese Leg Roll Clutch into an Osui Suplex cradle hold for the pinfall. In the singles match HARASHIMA caught on to Yuya Koroku’s plan to submit him so decided to do that to him instead. HARASHIMA hit the Somato on Koroku and rather than pin him, he put him in an Armbar to make him tap out.
Hideki Okatani attacked Yuki Ishida after their match and then got on the microphone. He said some of the Nagoya fans in attendance won’t be at Korakuen Hall for the Hair Contra DDT Extreme Title match so he’s going to give them a preview of what’s going to happen. He then took out a pair of scissors and cut off a braid of Ishida’s hair! Later backstage Ishida said he is going to make Okatani pay for this.
There’s been some action in regard to a few different DDT prizes during the show. Viento Levante submitted Masami Inahata to take the Blue Right To Challenge Gauntlet from him. Ilusion also lost his Right To Challenge AAAA Gauntlet to Rukiya only a few days after introducing the new purple Gauntlet to the proceedings.
Shunma Katsumata currently holds the Red Right To Challenge Gauntlet and told the fans he is going to protect it to raise its value until he feels the time is right to cash it in on Ueno. However he ended up losing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to Yuni at the beginning of the show entirely by accident. When NωA Jr. were performing their song each member all picked a side of the room to cheer the loudest. Katsumata admitted he lost the game because Yuni’s side was the loudest. Yukinori Matsui overheard that and decided that also meant Katsumata submitted to Yuni which makes Yuni the new Iron Man Champion!
DDT “CHECK OUT DDT AT GRANSHIP”, 12/07/2026 Shizuoka Granship Exchange Hall ??? Fans – Unannounced

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuya Koroku defeated Kazuma Sumi (c) with a Side Cradle Pin (2:39 pm). *Yuya Koroku becomes the 1,841st champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuya Koroku (c) with a Side Cradle Pin (2:39 pm). *Kazuma Sumi becomes the 1,842nd champion.
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Aoki pinned Levante with the Modified European Clutch (19:49).
There was an exchange of words between Yuki Ueno and MAO after the main event but it ended with them fist bumping each other so no bad blood is brewing yet. There was also an announcement that DDT will return to Shizuoka Granship Exchange Hall on 17th January next year. After Shinya Aoki heard that he said he will be waiting there for Ueno to come out of Sumo Hall still as the KO-D Openweight Champion. He will welcome everyone from DDT back to his hometown of Shizuoka, except for Viento Levante. Aoki then revealed he will be at the Sumo Hall show too.
Things are now brewing up between Chris Brookes and Yuya Koroku as something is heating up between them in the current FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs paleyouth program. Brookes was tactically aggressive against Koroku only to stay out of harm’s way whenever Koroku looked to make a comeback. Instead Koroku scored the pinfall on Hinata Kasai thanks to his new double team finishing move that is done alongside Takeshi Masada. Koroku was still fired up after the match and called for Brookes’s attention afterwards. He said he doesn’t care about HARASHIMA and Brookes shouldn’t be acting like he’s too cool for paleyouth. Koroku’s team are serious about taking the KO-D Tag Team Titles away from Fandora while also keeping the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles away from them.
paleyouth also got involved with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title while all of the above was going on. Daichi Sato tried to sneak pin Kazuma Sumi after the match. Sumi kicked out but was then pinned for a three count by Koroku. Sumi won the belt back when he shoved Koroku into Shoda and then rolled him up to pin him and run off as the champion again.
I’m just not quite sure what it is Yuki Ishida is trying to change about himself at the moment. He brought the fight to Hideki Okatani in their tag match but Daisuke Sasaki halted his progress with a chairshot to the back. Later Okatani would dodge Ishida’s Flame Palm and then pin him with the Skewered Claymore so right now the DDT Extreme Champion has all of the momentum going into his next title defence.
DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026 Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court ??? Fans – Unannounced

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned To-y with the Jul.2 (18:29).
The two latest generations of DDT faced off in today’s main event. On one side was Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura from the DNA of the 2010s took on 2020’s D GENERATIONS of Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida. Since the show was taking place on an indoor futsal field, a football was briefly brought into the match and some of the wrestlers brawled over to the nearest goal at ringside. Back in the ring Ueno & Yoshimura brought back their Nautilus tag team finisher the Osaka Strad to use on To-y. Ueno then finished To-y off with the Jul.2 to get DNA the victory. He praised D GENERATIONS after the match then brought up a story from ten years ago when Nakatsu was meant to pick him up at a McDonalds on the way to Asakusa but was thirty minutes late.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changed hands when Kazuma Sumi pinned Kazuki Hirata in the semi-main event. Later backstage MAO attacked Sumi in the locker room to try and win the title but when he leaned back to apply an Armbar he hit his head off the vending machine next to him allowing Sumi to escape.
The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets are coming back soon but not everybody is excited about them. Ilusion is bored with the annual stipulation and doesn’t understand why the fans want to see the same thing happen every year. So he’s going to do something with the Gauntlets to make the prize more spicy this time around. He has a plan but will reveal what it is to everyone on another day.
DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Unannounced

4. Special Tag Match: Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan defeated Minoru Fujita & Ilusion when Ji-chan pinned Ilusion with an Inside Cradle (14:20).
5. DDT Extreme Title – Barbed Wire Board Crash Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto ended in a Draw after a Double Barbed Wire Board Crash (14:30). *V3 for Hideki Okatani.
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii when Sasaki submitted Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock (14:54). *V2 for Daisuke Sasaki.
At the age of 40 years old Daisuke Sasaki is having a highlight year of his career. He toured North America, competed at this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament and will be teaming with DOUKI at Sumo Hall in a few months time. But maybe most important of all, Sasaki is taking the O-40 Title to new heights and actually got a title defence to be the main event of his annual “CHARISMANIA” show. His challengers in the 3 Way Match are both very familiar with him either as friends or regular opponents in the past. There were spots when Sasaki would team up with Shuji Ishikawa or Keisuke Ishii to beat up on the other but the match broke down into a free for all. Ishikawa came close to using the Splash Mountain on Sasaki but he rolled out of it and Ishii came in to hit the Kneel Kick. Sasaki then knocked Ishii into the referee so he could Low Blow him without it being seen. The plan worked and Sasaki went on to submit Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock for the win.
Sasaki was likely in a good mood over the result which would explain why he threw compliments at Ishii after the match. He is surprised that Ishii can still do the crazy moves he used to do in his 20s and 30s and he told Ishii to keep doing them until he reaches his 60s. Sasaki then talked to Ishikawa about them forming the original DAMNATION 10 years ago. The memories made Ishikawa want to sing but Sasaki stopped him so he could change the subject to Shinjuku FACE’s upcoming closure. Sasaki worries with the venue going away there might not be a place left for him to do crazy things. However he will still hang around Kabukicho until he his 105 years old and there will probably be a new Shinjuku FACE established by then. As for the next “CHARISMANIA” show, Sasaki is considering the Nippon Budokan or the Tokyo Dome but he hasn’t made a decision yet.
Hideki Okatani also earned a successful title defence for his DDT Extreme Title match but only just. Sasaki invited Yuko Miyamoto to challenge Okatani for the belt so Okatani decided they would have a Barbed Wire Board Crash match. The reason is because the last time they fought each other in 2023, Miyamoto put Okatani through a table. With revenge on his mind Okatani tried to put Miyamoto through the board. Miyamoto gave him a Power Bomb onto it but it was lying flat on the ring canvas at the time so couldn’t break. The board was then balanced over some chairs and Okatani tried to Dropkick Miyamoto onto it but he backflipped over the board and cleared it instead. With things at a stalemate, both men wrapped strands of barbed wire around their head and Headbutted each other. They then fought up to the aisle where the board was placed below them and they both knocked each other down, crashing through it. The match was ruled a draw which counts as a successful defence for Okatani. He still didn’t beat Miyamoto though. He said three years ago Miyamoto put him through the table and today Okatani defended the Extreme Title against him. So in six years time they will have another rematch so Okatani can finally beat Miyamoto!
Before Okatani could leave the ring, Yuki Ishida charged in screaming about how much he wants to change himself. He’s going to change by challenging for the Extreme Title! Okatani kicked Ishida down and told him he hasn’t changed anything about himself. He also doesn’t have anything to lose. Ishida said he isn’t doing to half-heartedly so to prove it he will put his hair on the line! Okatani remembered Ishida is a former sumo wrestler which means his hair does actually have some value. He accepted the challenge but only to make the match Title Vs Hair. Okatani won’t put his own hair on the line because the Extreme Title by itself is worth about the same as Ishida’s hair.
Ilusion found out the hard way that when you grab hold of Gabai Ji-chan’s walking cane it transfers his age over to you. Ilusion held onto it and became too decrepit to defend himself. Ji-chan then kicked the cane so it flicked in between Ilusion’s legs to make him crotch himself. He couldn’t kick out of the Inside Cradle after that. Ayato Yoshida did not fall for the same fate because he simply kicked Ji-chan’s cane away for heel heat at the start of the match despite being his tag partner. The cane was also used to block Minoru Fujita’s Swanton Bomb.
The real Brahman Brothers were not available to be at the show so a fake band of them appeared instead. The Bramhmans that looked sort of like Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida caused the same kind of havoc as the originals. They tortured their opponents until Takayuki Ueki pulled out his pistol and demanded to know if they got permission to use the gimmick. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi then tried using the power of his singing to change them back to normal. The Fake Brahmans fought back and targeted Takeshi Masada until all of a sudden Mataro appeared dressed as Frieza! One by one he attacked his opponents but also took out his allies by accident. More disgusting looking Brahman spots happened and once Yukinoru Matsui got pulled into them, he called off the match and declared it a No Contest.
MJ Paul met his match and suffered an upset defeat at the hands of Ryunosuke Nagai. Paul thought he had things under control and turned his back to climb the ropes for the Reverse Splash. He never expected Nagai would get up and give him a Power Bomb from the corner. Paul tried fighting back and kicked out of one Spear but Nagai finished him off with a second.
The opening match was held under Lucha Libre rules. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. took it upon themselves to be the rudos by trying to rip off the bags masks of Yunicaras Jr. and also Sumicaras. They got the win when Azteca lifted Yunicaras up for the Atlantida submission hold. He did the move running around the ring while Urano made Naohiro Katsumi give up to a Side Headlock.

There are also some inter-promotional bouts to look forward to with Kazuma Sumi defending the DDT Universal Title against Ryusuke Taguchi in a continuation of the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. There is still some friendliness between the two companies because Daisuke Sasaki has picked DOUKI to be his tag partner for the mystery match against Antonio Honda and whoever he is going to pick (the popular guess online so far seems to be YOH). Dragon Gate is also taking part in the fun by sending YAMATO over for a match. Unfortunately for him he’s getting Danshoku Dieno as his opponent.

6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Sasaki submitted Kasai with the Crossface Lock (10:24).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Shinya Aoki with the Sleeper Hold (21:48). *V8 for Yuki Ueno.
There was no repeat from what happened back in 2024. This time Yuki Ueno was able to put Shinya Aoki away and remain the KO-D Openweight Champion. It was a complete swap of results from two years ago as this time Ueno was able to make Aoki submit instead of the other way around. He had to go that direction because Aoki avoided the WR and used the Aoki Clutch to try and win. Ueno kicked out of the move and got to use his finisher except Aoki still had enough movement left in him to avoid getting pinned. Ueno had to instead stick Aoki in a grounded Sleeper Hold and make him tap out to finally win. After the match Ueno thanked Aoki for becoming part of the DDT family and said how much he respects him from the bottom of his heart.
There is still some time to go until “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” takes place in Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s enough time for a surprise title defence or two to happen before then but Ueno was given the nod by Hisaya Imabayashi to choose his Ryogoku challenger. Ueno brought up his goal to bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome and in order to do that he feels he must come up with a match that can sell out Sumo Hall first. The opponent he wants to fight in front of a packed Sumo Hall is MAO! This will also be a title rematch from 2024 in the same building. MAO calls himself a realist because he wonders if he can really make it to the Tokyo Dome. He thinks he can because he has become stronger that he was two years ago and is carrying none of the burdans from back then. He accepts the challenge to determine who will win between DDT’s Prince and DDT’s square shaped devil!
The 8-Man Tag between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and DAMNATION T.A was a little preview for the mystery tag match at Sumo Hall that Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda are both involved with. It was also an opportunity for Hinata Kasai to earn his first win. His partners helped out by weakening Sasaki using Chris Brookes’s Penalty Kick, HARASHIMA’s Swan Dive Body Press and Honda’s Fist Drop. Kasai then applied the STF for the finish but Sasaki got out of it by biting Kasai’s hand. After that MJ Paul hit Kasai with a chairshot from ringside and Hideki Okatani followed it up with the Claymore Kick. Ilusion wiped out the other Fandora wrestlers with a Trust Fall dive out of the ring while Sasaki made Kasai give up to the Crossface Lock.
Sasaki then had an announcement to make after the match. Both he and Honda need to find their own tag partners for their Sumo Hall match. Sasaki revealed he has found a suitable partner and played a video of him recruiting DOUKI from New Japan! The addition of the House Of Torture wrestler had Honda beginning to worry about the match. He told Sasaki when it will be time for him to reveal his tag partner, Sasaki’s going to act like it is an unfair choice too. Backstage Sasaki said he’s known DOUKI going back to before he was even DOUKI. Sasaki also recently just came back from Thailand where he claimed to have learned Muay Thai during his stay so he thinks he will take Honda down in seconds.
No referee? No problem! It was up to the audience to count the pinfall during the grudge match between MAO and Sanshiro Takagi. Not even the most stringent wrestling official could get in the way of MAO and Takagi’s crazy ideas for the match. Takagi made his entrance through the Korakuen Hall seating only to get run over by MAO riding the Dramatic Dream bike. He then crashed a scooter into Takagi along with a cart with KIMIHIRO sitting on it at ringside. Takagi fought back by bringing a toilet into the ring so he could DDT MAO into it. The fans were aided with on-screen instructions to count either fast or slow much to the wrestlers’ chagrin. The fan count would only register when it was determined the majority of them reached to three. MAO then played mind games by showing video footage of him running over Takagi in different vehicles over the past six years. The trauma effected Takagi so much that when MAO pulled out a small remote control van it caused Takagi more mental damage. Takagi was able to fight back using Stunners but the crowd only made it to a collective 2.9 before MAO kicked out. MAO got his own nearfall using the Michinoku Driver II so he placed a plastic box on top of his opponent and hit the Cannonball 450 through it for the three count. He then added insult to injury by driving the toy van into Takagi’s beaten body. With this win, MAO now considers himself to be Takagi’s successor so he encourages everyone else to DDT to become as crazy as he is and carry the weight of DDT with pride!
Kazuma Sumi came back from his eye injury with something in particular being stuck in his mind. But first he had a 6-Man Tag Match against paleyouth to get through. He got to show he didn’t lose a step in his brief absence by going toe to toe with Takeshi Masada. His partners Yuni & Kumadori pulled off some big dives late in the match. But when it came down to Yuni, he became overwhelmed by Yuya Koroku and then Daichi Sato who put him away with a Rolling Elbow.
After the match Sumi talked about how frustrating it was he had to miss the recent DDT Vs New Japan show due to his injury. He was annoyed in particular by seeing the NJPW young lion Tatsuya Matsumoto beat Hinata Kasai. Sumi can’t stand seeing DDT lose to NJPW like this so he made a demand to defend his DDT Universal Title against a wrestler from New Japan. Suddenly the lights in the room went out and when they switched back on, Ryusuke Taguchi was standing right behind Sumi! Akito was there too in his CyberFight Director form to announce he just so happened to have already booked Taguchi for Sumo Hall so Sumi can give him a title shot on that show. Sumi said it is a dream for him to reach the top of the Junior Heavyweight scene and asked Taguchi if he could be his stepping stone? Taguchi responded that Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega have used him as such to help them spread their wings to the world so he will do his best to do the same for Sumi. However after they shook hands, Taguchi suddenly hit Sumi with the Hip Attack and warned him to be careful otherwise he will be used as a stepping stone by somebody else!
By wrestling back and forth between DDT and NOAH recently, Yuki Iino is developing a balancing act between his DDT form and his Jonetsu MAX form. The Iino that wrestled today isn’t quite the same persona as the one that just won the GHC Tag Team Titles. Still, he and KANON worked as a well oiled duo in order to beat Shunma Katsumata & To-y. Iino even pulled off his cap at the end to show everyone his Jonetsu double mohawk before pinning To-y with a Lariat.
With Strange Love Connection getting the victory, KIMIHRIO did a rap for Iino to reintroduce him to the fans. Iino didn’t quite get what he was doing while Katsumata also felt provoked by it. He felt so provoked that he suddenly started a rap battle against KIMIHIRO in the ring! Katsumata quickly realised the mistake he made and said he gave up. But as Katsumata left the ring, Yukinori Matsui took the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him and handed it over to KIMIHIRO because KIMIHIRO just technically beat the champion by submission! Katsumata tried to take the belt back but the rest of SLC were there to stop him and make sure KIMIHIRO would leave the show as the new champ.
Rules had to be changed for Match #2 thanks to Kazuki Hirata. He ended up fighting the other team all on his own and quickly lost the match before Minoru Suzuki or Danshoku Dieno could even make their entrance. Imabayashi decided to restart the match with the added rule that Hirata could only lose the match if he gets beaten three times. Jun Akiyama immediately pinned Hirata before Dieno made it to the ring. Masami Inahata then made Hirata tap out before Suzuki’s music even hit. Inahata almost did it again but Suzuki got there in time to physically stop Hirata from tapping out. The match went on as normal from there. Except the normality went away when Rukiya rubbed his hands against Dieno’s bare backside and then grabbed Hirata in a Camel Clutch to make him give up and lose the match for good.
Today was Soma Takao’s first match since January. He’s been on the shelf since then dealing with an old knee injury and used his comeback to show off a new ring costume to go along with his trusty Dropkick Bar shirt. Yuki Ishida also had something new to show with a slightly changed hairstyle but nobody really noticed his attempt at changing himself into something new. He still played his part at keeping Naomi Yoshimura away so Yukio Naya could play spoiler and end Takao’s comeback match with a loss. Takao said he was happy to be in the ring with other members of the Dropkick Bar and also wrestle in front of the newer DDT fans who may never seen any of his matches before.
DDT welcomed back Miles Karu for another appearance during his excursion to Japan. He brought along his MYPW Southeast Asia Title to the ring for his pre-show match teaming with Akito. Does this mean Junta Miyawaki can now lay claim for a title shot because he & Viento Levante won the match when Miyawaki pinned Karu with the Sunshine Driver.
Another special guest from another wrestling promotion will appear at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” this August. YAMATO from Dragon Gate attended the show so he could step into the DDT ring for the first time (not counting the “DRAMATIC DREAM GATE” joint show from 2012). He was relieved to find out the DDT fans know who he is and he wants to be given a suitable opponent comparable to his stature as a wrestler who built an era in his own company. Guess what? His opponent is going to be Danshoku Dieno. YAMATO argued the match is happening ten years too late because nobody wants to see two old men like them getting it on. The DDT fans disagree and started chanting for the match to happen. YAMATO reluctantly accepted the challenge but warned Dieno his Danshoku tactics won’t work on him.
Even though the KO-D Title match is now set for Sumo Hall, it may not be Ueno going into it as champion. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets are back for another year! There will be only two Gauntlets this time and possessing one will give the holder a KO-D Title shot whenever they want from the period between 15th July to 27th September. The matches to determine the holders will take place at the Beer Garden shows taking place on 15th and 16th July.
DDT “DDT X GRAND HAMMER ROJO WRESTLING SHOWDOWN AT SHIMBASHI BUSHO YOKOCHO”, 27/06/2026 Tokyo Grand Hammer ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata when Masada pinned Inahata with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki onto Chairs (9:50).
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata (c) when Katsumata pinned Hirata with the Sauna Trance Splash from the Ladder (11:50). *Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,835th champion.
3. Falls Count Anywhere Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Minoru Suzuki & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda and MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Ueno pinned Honda with a Diving Body Press from the Ladder through the Table (20:25).
Stormy weather in Tokyo didn’t stop DDT from holding their Falls Count Anywhere matches inside Tokyo Grand Hammer. It helps that the fighting was kept indoors for the most part. It was only the main event that ever so briefly went outside when Minoru Suzuki threw both MAO and KIMIHIRO out of the building into the rain. The rest fought each other among the fans while making sure not to touch the display of warlord armour that was behind where the matches took place. Suzuki turned on Yuki Ueno by putting him in a Sleeper Hold that left him laying on top of a table. Antonio Honda climbed up a nearby ladder only for Suzuki to sneakily climb up behind him so he could put him in the Sleeper Hold too. Honda used Gongitsune to free himself and send Suzuki climbing back down. Ueno then got Honda onto the table, climbed the ladder and did a Diving Body Press through the table for the victory. Suzuki came back to set Ueno up for the Gotch-Style Piledriver but Ueno escaped to safety. To-y didn’t want the show to end because he felt there was still time for everyone to go party with the fans.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title now belongs to Shunma Katsumata after he pinned Kazuki Hirata in Match #2. Hirata was knocked on top of Danshoku Dieno so Katsumata did the Sauna Trance Splash from the ladder onto both of them before pinning Hirata. He tried to celebrate with Yuni afterwards only for Yuni to roll him up for a nearfall.

Last Year’s KING OF DRUNK winner Daisuke Sasaki is ready to defend his crown.
What’s a big attraction like Kaisei Takechi doing at the Beer Garden? Would THE RAMPAGE allow him to have a few drinks if he wishes to have some?
Come see the Invisible Man Rumble… except you can’t… because most of the entries are invisible… We’re starting to enter the territory where this could be mistaken for a Mystery Wrestling show instead of a DDT show.
Kumadori will be on the first day of Beer Garden but he hasn’t been announced for the second day yet.

Takechi gets to experience the annual ghost story from Hisaya Imabayashi too! Junta Miyawaki also gets to experience more DDT-ness by taking part in his first Blindfold match. Maybe this time everyone else will want to drink along with him.
I have a suspicion that Mikiya Sasaki is going to impersonate Daisuke Sasaki instead of doing his usual Dory Funk Jr. tribute. Or how about Daisuke shows up thinking he’s Terry Funk?
DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
2. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata
A promise was made by Yuki Ueno to have Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi team up together for his show. He just needed to find the right opponents for them. MAO fits the bill just fine as one half of the opposition. As for the other? Takechi prepare to meet your match in the form of Yoshihiko!
1. Yuki Ishida defeated Hinata Kasai with the Flame Palm (9:03).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno’s Tights defeated Kazuki Hirata (c) by Pinfall (5:31 pm). *Danshoku Dieno’s Tights become the 1833rd champion.
2. Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku pinned Hirata with an Elbow Butt (10:17).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Akito, Junta Miyawaki, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni when Okatani pinned Yuni with the Skewered Claymore (11:06).

5. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Viento Levante with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:28).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (18:28).
The “Prince Of Nagoya” is one day away from coming home and after today he is feeling pretty good about his chances of winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles tomorrow. He was put in an Octopus Hold by Antonio Honda but Yuki Ueno broke it up with a Shining Wizard. Then the two of them gave Honda the My MADMAX before To-y finished him off with the Kojima Impact. Afterwards To-y talked on the microphone about enjoying these kind of intense matches because he is the strongest. However, Chris Brookes brought him back down to Earth by reminding him that he is the only wrestler in the title match tomorrow who is not already a champion. Ueno cheered To-y up by giving him a prediction for the next East Vs West themed show taking place in Osaka this August. Ueno predicts he and To-y will cross boundaries together and fight for the tag titles on that show! To-y thought about going one further by giving a prediction of his own but stopped himself, deciding to live in the present instead.
All of paleyouth were attacked by DAMNATION T.A after Match #5. Ilusion gave Takeshi Masada a Low Blow while Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul attacked everyone with chairs. Ilusion got on the microphone to demand Masada hand the belts over and start his career over as a trainee. He then knocked out Masada with a belt shot to the head. The three paleyouth wrestlers all had to be helped out of the ring after the attack.
The bright and energetic Junta Miyawaki might be met with a cold reality tomorrow. After his match he said he wants to win the DDT Extreme Title from Hideki Okatani because it looks so shiny. Without much emotion Okatani told Miyawaki he is just somebody who does not know when to give up. So for tomorrow’s I Quit match he will not even allow Miyawaki to give up!
The attack on paleyouth was part of an unlucky day for Yuya Koroku. He thought he had won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title earlier in the show when he beat Kazuki Hirata in a tag match. Danshoku Dieno was part of the match and he stripped out of his tights during it. Hirata grabbed the tights and tried to smother Koroku with them but Koroku defended himself and knocked down Hirata with an Elbow Strike. He jumped on top for the pin and got the three count but was not rewarded with the championship. Yukinori Matsui noticed the pair of tights was beneath Koroku and on top of Hirata during the pin so he decided it was Danshoku Dieno’s Tights that pinned Hirata and won the Iron Man Title!
